The Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice is preparing for an exciting Fall Sports season, and with that comes an important reminder for all student-athletes: eligibility matters.
The LGJ Jaguars Fall Sports Eligibility Check outlines the key academic and attendance requirements students must meet in order to participate in fall athletics. These expectations are designed to ensure that all athletes stay on track both in the classroom and on the field.
Academic and Attendance Requirements
To be eligible to play in the fall, students must meet the following criteria:
- Submit a June or Summer School Transcript (most recent), showing progress toward the 10-credit rule
- Provide a June or Summer School Report Card
- Maintain at least 90% attendance from January through June
In addition, students must meet PSAL eligibility requirements, which include:
- 5+1 Rule: Pass five credit-bearing classes plus Physical Education, with at least three core academic subjects
- 10 Credit Rule: Earn at least 10 credits (Physical Education does not count; summer school credits do count)
- GPA Requirement: Maintain a minimum GPA of 65
- Attendance Requirement: Maintain 90% attendance or higher during each marking period (attendance is not cumulative)
All four requirements must be met in order to participate in fall sports.
Fall Sports Opportunities at LGJ
Students who meet eligibility requirements will have the opportunity to compete in a variety of fall sports, including:
- Boys Varsity Soccer
- Boys and Girls Cross Country (Track)
- Girls Varsity Volleyball
- Coed Bowling
These teams provide students with opportunities to grow as athletes, build teamwork skills, and represent LGJ with pride.
Commitment to Excellence
The message is clear: “Jaguars do the work. Jaguars get eligible. Jaguars compete.”
LGJ emphasizes the importance of balancing academics, attendance, and athletics. By staying focused and meeting expectations, students can take full advantage of everything the fall athletic season has to offer.
Students with questions are encouraged to speak with their coach or the Athletic Director for guidance and support.
